Synopsis

Former collegiate wrestler Scott Voss (Kevin James) is a 42-year-old, apathetic high school teacher. When budget cutbacks threaten to cancel some of the school's programs and lay off its music teacher (Henry Winkler), Scott creates a scheme to raise money by moonlighting as a mixed martial arts fighter. Everyone thinks Scott is crazy -- most of all the school nurse, Bella (Salma Hayek). In his quest, Scott gains something he never expected as he inspires his students and becomes a sensation that rallies the entire school.

Colin Covert

Weak humor and vanilla plotting have replaced legitimate drama, pathos, and character development.

Stephanie Zacharek

It's nice that the hero goes to the mat for what he believes in. But he's not the only thing that comes down with a thud.

Linda Barnard

It delivers exactly what's expected from a flabby mishmash of high school inspirational tale and Mixed Martial Arts fighting exhibitionism ladled out by Adam Sandler running mate Frank Coraci ...

Stephen Cole

Here Comes the Boom will probably connect like a haymaker with most of its intended audience. The leads are likeable, and the plot, though beyond incredible, is at the very least distracting.

Frank Lovece

Why doesn't most of this movie take place in a coma ward?

Adam Graham

"Here Comes the Boom" is so full of clich&#233;s from other, better movies that it is almost plays like a parody of an underdog tale.

Here comes the boom Kevin James was funny in King of Queens he's terrible in everything else this is no exception. I cannot believe anyone thought this was the best movie ever. The food fighting scene seriously? MMA fighters trying to act and be funny on top of it come on. I seriously thought this was a spin off of the movie Grown ups another disappointment. Just like Sandler, James doesn't care about comedy anymore he cares about the paycheck. Henry Wrinkler whyyyyy

If I could have given zero stars, I would have How Kevin James became a successful actor baffles me every time I see his face. He is a terrible actor. He's not funny and everything he has done has been awful. My gf, for reasons I cannot fathom likes him, so I've been forced to watch a lot of his shit work. This one, however, is where I drew the lines. After 30 minutes I refused to be subjected to him anymore. If I were you, I wouldn't even watch the 30 minutes.

Kids like it. Wives like comedy. And any out of shape 40yo male can put himself in this role, especially one that wrestled. It has something for everyone and even quotes Scripture - Word!!! It's not quite Rocky but Rocky didn't have a comedian as the star. I am pro UFC so to see them use their name and rights and staff to be part of this movie is awesome. I haven't even looked at the director yet and still like the movie. Time will tell if this becomes a classic worth watching over and over. I don't recall lines I can use in the real world and with Baz & comic, I should recall lines, code names and Classic jokes. 1:poor 2:fair 3:good 4:excellent 5:classic. thank you to the whole cast.. 4 stars and maybe 5 someday.. God bless.

Twisty! I loved this movie. Laughed out loud at every moment from climbing in the school window, to watching worlds deadliest car chases to the wierdest date ever to puking on his opponent. And the conclusion is awesome. I loved it!

4ever 5 I haven't seen this film yet. But could never imagine Miss Selma playing a fun roleplay then this movie. I have to go see it. on a purchase sometime i soon. When i get solid imcome. Invoke not so .Great movie producer, and stars. 5 rate

Decent, silly flick to watch We rented this movie on a whim. It's a typical Kevin James movie so if you aren't into him then I'd move on. It's hardly a classic comedy. But it was funny enough and cute enough to watch an be a dcent way to enjoy a couple of hours.

Definite see I love reading many of the reviews on Google, from all the up and coming movie critics of the world. I do think that if you're being overly critical here, you're over analyzing things. This is a feel good movie with a solid cast. Many new comers play off of veteran comedians Kevin James and Henry Winkler. The story line is unique and creates a fun and entertaining journey. I laughed out many times; enjoy this movie with the whole family.

Great Movie This movie was fun, easy to follow, funny, and Kevin James delivers what you expect. Hes a funny guy and does it without resorting to dirty humor, or bad language. Just an all around good movie to kill 2 hours with. Worth the $6 rental.

Great Movie! Here Comes The Boom, was a really good movie. The main character, Scott Voss, decides to take matters into his own hands when he is told that they are going to have to let some of the faculty go. This was one of the most inspiring movies I have seen because it teaches you a valuable lesson about fighting for something that you want and never giving up, no matter what. This was definitely a movie to watch and to recommend to your family and friends.

The key that makes films memorable... This movie went and melded together the sports genre, triumph/underdog story, comedy and drama and made a film to be remembered. It has its flaws, but it has a heart not seen from a Kevin James movie and he REALLY threw himself it to the role. I'm not into MMA or a lot of comedy, but this movie had me smiling from ear to ear throughout the film and making me feel like I can conquer anything. That's what makes a film stand out and memorable to me, and if its memorable, its worth watching!

Awesome They don't make solid feel-good movies like this anymore. They should. This movie, though light and funny, nevertheless has your heart pumping and has you cheering for James' character by the time the credits roll. Winkler is brilliant as always. Good, clean fun. Definitely worth the rental. As a matter of fact, I'll probably buy it now.
